Negotiations on the terms of the planned International Consortium for Rehabilitation Technology (ICRT)

The presidents of four of the largest societies in the field of rehabilitation technology, the IFESS, IISART, ICORR and ISVR met on February 22, 2018 in Zürich along with representatives from Kenes M+. In a very successful meeting, they negotiated the terms of the planned umbrella organization, the International Consortium for Rehabilitation Technology (ICRT).
